Brexit

[mickd1961]

Just listening to the Scots Nationalists bleating on, how do they think being a European member state ( if they let them
In) makes them more independent? Tax revenue generated in Scotland amounts to about £66 billion, including North Sea oil revenue, but it benefits from about £81 billion in public spending. That means Scotland benefits from £15 billion more than it puts in. I for one would be very happy for them to go!

I’ve got no problem with Scottish independence.........I just enjoy the fact that denying Sturgeon the vote she wants winds them lot up so much.

They’d have to give up the £ in favour of the € for starters and we all know how canny the Scots are when it comes to money matters.

Personally I have no problem if they want to go, maybe the EU will subsidise them rather than us having to do it?

It would also answer the “Midlothian Question”......no longer would we have to put up with their MP’s in our parliament voting on English matters whilst unable to vote in return on their devolved matters.

I think that given the fact that the Torys return of MP’s in Scotland is always a precariously slim number and that there’s always the possibility of a Labour improvement in MP numbers in the country that certain Tory’s would let a vote take place at some point.

It won’t be Boris though as he believes in the Union.

If we as U.K. citizens are accepting ( which I believe most of us are ) that we may be a bit poorer financially in the short term until we really set our country up to trade as we want to do internationally for the next 30 years then the Scots need to be wary of voting for a double dose of this.

On balance I’d give them the vote but as I say, it is fun watching wee Krankie get so het up and the SNP’s jumped up gob s h y t e leader in the commons 😆😆
